Tips & Tricks
- Crystal tomes are impeccably scary in an open field. They can deal up to 306 damage per turn, enough to one-shot most characters, period. While the chance of actually taking 306 damage is minuscule (each crystal spear can miss, be blocked, or be reduced by AC), the damage output can still be very, very high.
- Living spells work similarly to the player Foxfire spell. It creates a living spell entity, which must have a direct path to a hostile target. If you are in melee range with a tome in a corridor, most of the living spells will be unable to hit you. But unlike the foxfire spell, living spells can spawn behind the player (radius-2 of the walking tome), so a corridor is not foolproof.
- If needed, you can attack a living spell, which will destroy it before it gets the chance to cast itself.
- Silence works on walking tomes, preventing them from casting at all.
